<p>[QUOTE="CoinGal07, post: 274979, member: 8843"]Yeah - honestly for every seemingly 'shady' dealer or ebayer that sets us off w/long threads of criticism.. there are likely 5 good dealers. I truly believe the good outweigh the bad, they just don't get the press. We either talk about the 'really really good' or the 'really really bad'. Those that just go through the day, pricing the coins correctly, making decent deals, offering fair appraisals, just slide off our memories too fast. Let's try to think of a few of those too. Those who take the time to explain the numismatics and collecting, show grades and share information whether you buy their coins or not. I've sat in many a coin shop or at coin shows and seen plenty of friendly honest dealers ~ but oddly, they aren't the ones raking in the money. It's the curt 'buy it, take the deal or move on' dealers w/the loaded money bags... so that may be a thought to consider. Perhaps the evil dealers are products of the collectors environments. You know.. programmed through negative reinforcement.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
